Why we're leaving The Netherlands to renovate a farmhouse in Italy

[@IgorDellaPietra]

i consider myself beeing an introvert thats why i rarely approach people by myself. but when i visited my grandma in italy as a kid, i always looked forward to also visit the neighbours. anna-maria was a sweet old lady. she loved baking and her roses and had a dog called susie that got occasionally insulted when it ran over the flowers. its a small village, people know each other and we always had a heartwarming welcome when we came. i'm not sure why i tell you this.. try to enjoy making others happy like anna-maria did, and you will too live a long, healthy and happy life.

Hello my Piemontesi friends,you did the right thing choosing Piemonte,we have been living here since 1984,having moved from Lombardia.People are more friendly than the Lombards

Good Decision to come to live in Italy, especially if your mom is already here. 👍 I came to Italy too years ago, but it was for love and I didn't need to look to property. We are living in an area of Torino and I would like to suggest some places to visit where you can take very good pictures. On the first place it is Gran Paradiso National Park, there is Col di Nivolet and Punta di Belvedere, from this point you can see two incredible lakes, one is green but the other one is Blu, it is my favorite place on the Planet Earth - every time I am there I see them in different colors, it is magic place! 😊 The second one we go more often because it is closer, it is Moncenisio lake, just at the border in France. Good place to relax and walk, you can also visit some small villages down there. From there sometimes we go to Col de Iseran, sometimes we get snow there in the summer.😅 Sometimes we make big tours in France. One of them is via Moncenisio lake, Col de Iseran and then enter in Valle d'Aosta in Italy. The other one is via Val Susa, Cesana, Monginevro, Briancon in France, then Call du Galibier, Modane, Moncenisio lake and enter in Italy. Another interesting tour is to go to Colle dell'Agnello, Col d'Isoard that is a spectacular place, then Briancon and via Cesana to enter Italy. If you like to hike go to Monviso that is nearby you or to Cervino in Valle d'Aosta. Nearby here in Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta you can visit many castles and fortress as Exilles, Forte delle Finestrelle, Fénis, Bard, ecc. In autumn we like to make a tour nel Le Langhe, the colors are picturesque! 😊 Ah yes, visit also Lago Maggiore with it's island Isola Bella, che e molto bella, and Isola dei Pescatori, also the near Lago d'Orta. But you know Italia is so beautiful place and I love it, as I love my native country Bulgaria. 😊 For some of the places I wrote to you I have some videos here, take a look. For Moncenisio I should publish it soon. Take in consideration that places like Moncenisio and Gran Paradiso are closed in the snowy months! So use the summer to visit these places. 😊

[@isvanalles7747]

thx for sharing your journey to actually finding your place. I feel like I am 'in the waiting room'-episode, I don't yet have the actual money to buy, it is still in other shared property. I have found a place I really like. I like your little steps approach and how to keep the candle burning. And I like the non-linear perspective... I also have the feeling it goes that way. It is like dancing with life and listen to the music of it, where does the music push you to. Wishing you all the best 💮

[@storiesfromthecascina]

Thank you! When we started dreaming ten years ago we were fresh out of university, with only one no stable income and some study dept. A lot can happen in 10 years - if you dance with life and listen to the music :-)

[@lululand1653]

Lovely to see you both and thank you for such a detailed explanation of your journey. It constantly amazes me that we always end up where we are supposed to be without necessarily being aware during the process that it only happens in that exact moment and that exact place. I have been patiently waiting for over ten years now to find it and I have had to let go of all my expectations that it would be easy and just keep living where I am until that time.

[@storiesfromthecascina]

it's amazing what can come our way when we let go of expectations! rooting for you finding your place ❤️

[@Leed216]

Glad your dreams are coming true and you are sharing your journey with us. Yes Canadians and Americans have many similarities, but also a lot of differences. Having lived in both countries the biggest difference would be Americans not knowing much about Canada. Whereas Canadians are totally influenced by the US on daily basis. I’ve also lived in the Netherlands twice, i continue to practice my Dutch with the Duolingo app!

[@storiesfromthecascina]

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I would say that Bertus is the more methodical thinker and I'm the more intuitive one :-) We complement each other very well in that respect :-) The restlessness you mention is very familiar. But if there's one thing that this process has taught us, it is to be patient, with ourselves, and with the world really. This has spilled over into many other domains of our lives, including our businesses. The times where it has felt easy is when we approached it with patience and relaxing into the unknown. The times where it felt hard is where we were pushing to make things fit that linear time-line that we are so used to :-)

Hi Andrew! She definitely did, and thank you for reflecting that back! The way we see it is that allowing the process to be non-linear, is allowing that which needs to find you to come on your path. There was so much more we could have said in this video, but we're trusting that whatever needs to be said will find its way into future videos in time :-) And the idea of "the house that chose us" already made its way into our opening episode.

thank you! "the netherlands" is such a hard word to pronounce in english though 🤣 we keep tripping over it 😅

[@KMD2832]

Thanks for sharing :) It is interesting to know your reasoning for why you have chosen this area and property. I am in England. We very very rarely get any forest fires and also very rare to get an earthquake - and even then, I’m not sure they have been bad enough to cause damage to buildings. We do however get lots of rain, and flooding seems to have become more common. So you referred to maps for earthquake and fire risk, I look at flooding risk! I hadn’t realised that you can drive back to friends and family within a day - does that mean you will have lots of visitors (friends and family) to come and help you with the renovations? …… or will they be hoping for relaxing visits 😊 Thanks again for you video and hoping that your packing/planning for your move in July is going smoothly.

[@maryhjort7318]

Greetings from the Netherlands! I feel so fortunate that your channel found its way onto my youTube page! No idea how that happened, exactly, but its been really fun watching you folks on all of your projects. I really want to thank you for clarifying something for me about my inability to ever feel at home in Holland even after 20 years. (I’m an American who moved to Holland to be with my Dutch husband.) Learning the language turned out to be incredibly difficult for me and even after all these years I am still not comfortable with it. But Isis, I think you put your finger on the real problem which is that no matter what I do… I will always be a buitenlander in every situation here. After twenty years and actually FOR twenty years this has been really quite painful. I think maybe its that knowing which has blocked me in becoming more at ease w Dutch. Its like I dont want to let go of that fundamental piece of my identity … my mother tongue. Hearing you speak about your feelings of always being “that Belgian girl” really struck home with me. It felt good to know that someone else … even someone fairly fluent in Dutch (with Vlaams refinements❤) has felt this way too. So thanks for that! You followed with another observation that were you to move to Belgium … then it would be Bergus feeling this way. My husband and I now understand a bit better why we also would prefer to live not in Holland or the USA BUT in a more nationality neutral place, as you say. Not sure we’ll make that happen. We are in our middle 70’s now. But who knows! Maybe one day we’ll come visit you folks in Italy. Many thanks for your lovely hospitality here. ❤️

Love your explanation and so intrigued about all the countries so close together.I live in Australia in Victoria and three of my children moved to Queensland which is two days travel away on reasonable roads out of towns and not though mountains so to think that so much is so close is mind blowing to the likes of us.our area is semi rural now we have neighbours, not when we moved here,we are in bush fire area and have been burnt out once, rebuilt quite quickly ,which is not happening to people now,even major storm damage is taking a couple of years to get fixed for many people,and that is now the major issues we live with, but we love it here and feel at home.

[@ryanharvey9769]

Hi guys. I came across your channel yesterday and have enjoyed watching the early videos. I'm an English guy who moved to the Marche region of Italy approximately 12 years ago. I moved under different circumstances to you guys and have lived in a modern property by the Adriatic for my time here. In the very near future when some finances come into effect I am going to buy a property to renovate in my region. It's been great to watch how you approached the work, I'm sure behind the scenes things weren't always as relaxed but it's given me some initial ideas. Bravi regazzi.

[@56932982]

In the beginning of your video I asked my self: Why not Germany? I am from south-west Germany, Palatinate region. This is quite rural. The large, old farm house of our family was sold for just 75k€. But then: Yes. The house is large and has a large garden. But it is still in a village. Solitary houses with farm land around are somewhat uncommon in Germany.

[@storiesfromthecascina]

i think for at least 4-5 years we were convinced it would be germany for us! 😊

[@timwadesnowboard-wowadventure]

That was interesting. We're all from so many different places and backgrounds - but all have one thing in common. We like peace and quiet in nature, aperitivo's, wine and staring at awesome views. As you've probably realised, you can go out with all good intentions to dig half a veg patch, get to lunch time and look, and you're lucky if you've dug about 4 rows, if that, from being distracted by the scenery, or a woodpecker, or cuckoo, or whatever. You're well prepared with having done some lessons beforehand. I turned up here alone, not speaking a word of the language, met an italian doctoressa on the beach in Liguria, she brought me up to Turin and then I got into snowboarding. We want our own ways (or should I say I went a different way) and ended up staying. I think you're in the right place to quickly improve your Italian though - my first few years were split between Liguria, Turin and the ski resorts where most people who work in tourism, speak English so I was lazy. It was only when I moved down the valley to a village where hardly anybody speaks english and then only very little, that it forced more to speak Italian. Then of course you go through the stage of listening to everyone and always apologising and explaining your learning in case they think you're being nosey. Eventually you reach a level of confidence to try and speak yourself. Wine helps there too. haha

[@timwadesnowboard-wowadventure]

I'm pretty fluent now though. Few Italian girlfriends that don't speak English helps. Good for cooking lessons too!

My grandparents were from Locana, about an hour away from you. I have never visited but I feel they would have lived very similar to you two.

[@Daytona2]

Thank you Isis and Bertus, that was really interesting and insightful. I guess the beautiful nearby coastline makes it a more expensive area ? Personally, as a Brit, to avoid the heat, I'd be looking at the foothills of the Western Alps.

[@storiesfromthecascina]

glad it was insightful! we are about an hour drive from the sea, but we haven't noticed any price influences because of it. the ligurian coast line is definitely more expensive but real estate prices in the mountains (even the ligurian mountains) are much lower.

[@storiesfromthecascina]

temperatures at the foothills of the alps and where we are (we have an elevation of 550m above sea level) are very similar. we've also looked for property there, actually that's where our search in piemonte started, but we've organically ended up a bit more to the east 😊

[@kimi9876]

Congrats for the decision and courage to take such a huge project! The project is nicely evolving. The region looks nice and decision around moving to Italy makes sense given some relatives also being not so far away. The list of alternative countries was nice. Personally, I think that mediteranium/alpine part wins over the rest. Though personally would move to different country than you as a result of long term prospects as Italy is in a structural decline and will continue to be declining for foreseeable future. As such, infrastructure and basic services will continue to deteriorate. Which is some other cases is not looking to be the case.

Ik ben verslaafd aan dit soort filmpje.

[@frenchgrama]

I’m sure I’m not the only one who is envious of you being able to live your dream. I live in Brisbane, Australia and I am particularly envious of Europeans having sooo many beautiful countries on your doorstep to choose where you’d like to live - to me it would be such a gift to NOT have to spend 27 hours on a plane to visit Europe, where I have always wanted to live since I was first there in my early 20’s… sadly it will never be a possibility for me. I sympathise with Isis about not liking the look of Holland as I feel the same about Australia - to me it is ugly (at least Queensland is), burnt out, unbearably hot and humid. The landscape, to me, looks dead and lifeless and the bush is not pleasant to look at or be in. Unlike Europe which is beautiful and green and I believe safe from poisonous snakes. The worse thing about living where I do is that the heat and humidity from summer is never ending, lasting at least 7 - 8 months of the year. Being outdoors is unbearable as you feel like you are being cooked alive and you sweat like a pig all day, so you spend all your time indoors in the air conditioning hiding from the heat and humidity - & we feel like we are in prison. It’s only really comfortable to be outdoors in our ‘winter’ which is in June & July. Sooo, I live vicariously through people like yourselves who relocate throughout Europe and create their dream lives. I eagerly look forward to your updates, thanks for sharing.

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

I also live in Australia but my feelings are completely different I live in the ranges of Victoria which is green 90% of the year and you can spend much more time outdoors.if you don’t like Brisbane look further around Australia there are many beautiful places with different climates and scenery so don’t knock the whole country instead explore the country till you find an area you like that is more like your beloved Europe and move there.

[@frenchgrama]

@@elizabethstreeter2145 Yes, I completely agree with you that Victoria and many other places in Australia have beautiful green scenery with reasonable summers. I wasn’t ‘knocking’ Australia, I was stating a fact as it affects me and many others I know in Qld. Lots of people like me don’t have the freedom to move interstate let alone overseas due to extended family commitments that make relocating impossible. I’d move in a heartbeat if it wasn’t the case… and I can understand why you love Victoria so much, if I could live anywhere in Australia, Victoria would be my first choice.

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

Weird take. Australia on much of the east coast heading south has great climate. You may have visited Europe but you obv have no clue how 1700h of sunshine a year feel. Winters are long, cold and dark. It's no coincidence that suicide rates are so high here. Seasonal depression is real. Not to speak of low salaries in much of Europe, compared to AUS or the US. The nicer places are crazy expensive to live in and in pretty sure you wouldn't gain anything over living in Sydney or Melbourne. You're a classic case of selective attention and frankly, you have no clue what you have in AUS. You don't even know how easy you have it.

@@dr.christopherjohnson4840 Greetings from India, thank you, we hope you are well too.

Pity you didn't consider Marche at all, it is a so nice region!

[@storiesfromthecascina]

We did, actually but it never made it to our shortlist. It's where my late stepfather was from. But for reasons that can't be explained by ratio, it didn't feel like a place where we'd like to settle down. In no way do we feel that the regions where we looked are "better" than other areas in Italy - and we're looking forward to making many trips to all that Italy has to offer in the future, as we have been doing in the past years as well.

You are near Monaco then

Just wondering, what income you both will be living off and how will you pay for renovations..I noticed you are a photographer and what type of work does your partner do...will you both be looking for employment in italy??

[@storiesfromthecascina]

Hi Joseph! We are both self-employed and won't be looking for employment here. We are moving over our own businesess to Italy. And we have savings to get started with the renovation. My work these days is mostly online (I coach other creative business owners) and we are steadily building an adittional income stream from making these videos as well.

ik snap niet wat je bedoelt alles is vlak, heerlijk juist je kan heel ver kijken wij wonen tussen de bomen en je ziet niks daarom zoeken wij plekken waar je heel ver kan kijken > dat geeft mij vrijheid en het liefst aan het water en ja ik snap je wel wat je nu hebt zou je in NL misschien niet kunnenkopen, maar als ik ( ja ik ,niet jullie ) er voor mocht kiezen had ik een huis proberen te krijgen in Friesland

hey ans! voorkeur voor en connectie met bepaalde soorten landschappen is heel persoonlijk! er bestaat geen objectief mooier of beter landschap, maar waar iedereen zich het meeste thuis voelt is voor iedereen anders. ik ben heel blij dat er veel mensen zich juist wel volop thuis voelen in het nederlandse landschap!
